CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION
This application claims the priority benefit of Taiwan application serial no. 100149704, filed on Dec. 30, 2011. The entirety of the above-mentioned patent application is hereby incorporated by reference herein and made a part of this specification.
BACKGROUND OF THE APPLICATION
1. Field of Application
The present application relates to a surface modifier for an electrode plate of a lithium battery and to the electrode plate of the lithium battery. More particularly, the present application relates to an anode material with self-hilling ability and to an anode electrode plate.
2. Description of Related Art
Since one-time used battery does not full fill the requirement of the environmental protection, the battery system capable of being recharged is getting a lot of interests. With the rapid development and popularization of the portable electronic products, the lithium batteries which can repeat the cycle of discharging-and-recharging have the advantages of light weight, high voltage and high energy density so that the market demands on the lithium batteries increase. Comparing with the lead-acid battery, the nickel-metal-hydride battery, the nickel-zinc battery and the nickel-cadmium battery, the lithium battery has the advantages of high working voltage, large energy density, light weight, long lifetime and good environmental protection and the lithium battery is one of the best batteries for being applied in the flexible battery in the future. Hence, the demands on the properties of the lithium battery, such as light weight, durability, high working voltage, high energy density and safety become high. Further, the developmental potential and the application of the lithium batteries in the light-weighted electromobile industry, electric motor car industry and large-sized electronic storage industry are high.
However, in the current technology, the solvation of the lithium ions in the lithium battery with the solvent occurs and at least one lithium ion can attract multiple solvent molecules to perform the solvation. When the lithium ions attracting the electrolyte molecules to perform the solvation is close to the anode electrode plate, the lithium ions with the solvent molecules easily lead to delamination of the anode electrode while most of the anode electrode plate is the graphitized carbon material having the interlayer structure. Thus, in the current technology, a solid electrolyte interface film (SEI film) is formed on the surface of the anode electrode plate so that the lithium ions depart from the solvation solvent molecules while the lithium ions attracting the electrolyte molecule to occur the solvation in the electrolyte pass through the SEI film and enter the anode electrode plate. Thus, the delamination of the anode electrode plate can be prevented. Currently, there are two types of SEI film include the reaction-type SEI film and the reductive-type SEI film. Nevertheless, those SEI films are added into the electrolyte in a form of additive and the SEI films formed from the additives by performing the electrochemical polymerization adsorb the surface of the anode electrode plate. Hence, the polymerization effect and the ability to detach the solvent molecules of the SEI films are limited by the effect of the electrochemical polymerization of themselves. In addition, the SEI film polymerized on the anode electrode plate is easily dissolved in the electrolyte, which affects the electrical performance. Moreover, the SEI film covers the anode electrode plate by adsorption so that it is easy to detach the SEI film from the anode electrode plate while the anode electrode plate is operated in a high temperature. Thus, the performance of the adsorbability of the SEI film affects the ability of the SEI film to detach the solvent molecules from the lithium ions. Further, it is easy to produce gas during the polymerization is performed to form the SEI film, which affects the whole performance of the SEI film.
SUMMARY

The application provides an anode electrode plate having protective layers which form chemical bonds with surfaces of a carbon-containing substrates and capable of improving the compatibility between the surfaces of the carbon-containing substrates and the electrolyte and preserving the unity of the carbon-containing substrates.
In the present application, an anode material is provided for a surface of an electrode. The anode material comprises carbon-containing substrates and unsaturated compounds. The unsaturated compounds form at least a chemical bond with the surfaces of the carbon-containing substrates.
In the present application, an anode electrode plate is provided. The anode electrode plate comprises a current collector and an anode material. The anode material is disposed on the current collector and the anode material includes carbon-containing substrates and unsaturated compounds. The unsaturated compounds form at least a chemical bond with the surfaces of the carbon-containing substrates.
Accordingly, in the present application, the addition reactions are performed between the functional groups of the unsaturated chemical compounds and the surfaces of the carbon-containing substrates to form chemical bonds such as covalent bonds. Most of the reactions are reversible. When a portion of the crosslinking structures of the polymer of the unsaturated compounds which form chemical bonds with the surfaces of the carbon-containing substrates is damaged by the external factors (such as heat or stress), the damaged crosslinking structures can recover from applying energy (such as heating) onto the polymer to perform the addition reactions again due to the reversibility of the addition reactions. Thus, on the surfaces of the carbon-containing substrates, the protective layers which are made of the unsaturated chemical compounds having chemical bonds with the surfaces of the carbon-containing substrates possess self-hilling ability. Moreover, the protective layers which are formed from the unsaturated chemical compounds on the carbon-containing substrates can improve the electrochemical activity of the surfaces of the carbon-containing substrates, improve the compatibility between the surfaces of the carbon-containing substrates and the electrolyte and, meanwhile, preserve the unity of the original carbon-containing substrates.

More specifically, in one embodiment, the graphitized MCMB and mesophase graphite (MPGA) as the anode active material (carbon-containing substrate) and BMI2300 are mixed and added into γ-butylactone (GBL) solvent (please refer to Table 1 in the following paragraph for the mixture ratio of the carbon-containing substrates (MPGA) to BMI2300), the concentrations of reactants in the reaction system are adjusted and the reaction temperature is controlled to be under 70° C. The reaction lasts for about four days. Then, after the reaction system is cooled down to the room temperature, the products are filtered by centrifuge. The products are repeatedly washed by using ultrasonic vibration with tetrahydrofuran (THF). After being dried in 50° C., the thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) and scanning electronic microscopic (SEM) analysis are performed on the products. The weight ratio of the carbon-containing substrates to the unsaturated compounds is about 10:1˜1:10.
The Table 1 listed below shows Raman spectrum analysis data and X-ray photoelectron spectrometer (XPS) analysis data of the products while the addition reactions of the carbon-containing substrates and the unsaturated compounds are performed under different reactant concentrations, different reaction temperatures and different reaction durations. As shown in Table 1, by analyzing the products obtained from the reactions of the carbon-containing substrates (MPGA) and BMI2300 under different reaction conditions, it reveals that the number of the BMI2300 on the carbon-containing substrates can be increased by increasing the concentrations of the reactants, the reaction temperature or the reaction duration.

Moreover, in Raman spectrum, the feature peaks of the carbon-containing substrates are found around 1580 cm−1 and 1340 cm−1. The former is G-band which is generated from the carbon molecules vibrating along the planar direction of the graphite and can be regarded as the graphitization degree. The later is D-band which is generated from the structural defect or the edge of the carbon material. That is, the stronger the intensity of the D-band is, the more fragmented the structure of the graphite is. The larger IG/ID ratio obtained from the intensity of G-band is divided by the total intensity means the graphitization degree of the carbon-containing substrates is high and the amount of defects is small. The result of the addition reactions shows that the amount of carbon-carbon double bonds on the carbon-containing substrates is decreased. On the other words, the addition reactions lead to the decreasing of the graphitization degree of the carbon-containing substrates and the surfaces of the carbon-containing substrates are, indeed, modified by performing the addition reactions to form the chemical bonds between the surfaces of the carbon-containing substrates and the unsaturated compounds.
Further, the XPS result shows that the relative proportions of the nitrogen element, the oxygen element and the carbon element of the surfaces of the carbon-containing substrates can be controlled by adjusting the reaction temperature, the concentration of the reactants and the reaction duration so that the bonding degree between the diphenylmethane bismaleimide and the surfaces of the carbon-containing substrates can be indirectly controlled.
FIGS. 3A through 3D are Raman spectrums of the surfaces of the carbon-containing substrates modified by chemical bonding with four different unsaturated compounds. As shown in FIG. 3A, MPGA is used as the carbon-containing substrate and BMI2300 forms chemical bonds with the surfaces of the carbon-containing substrates. FIG. 3A shows 623.8 nm-wavelength He—Ne laser (2 mW) Raman spectrum of the carbon-containing substrates modified by BMI2300 and 623.8 nm-wavelength He—Ne laser (2 mW) Raman spectrum of the original carbon-containing substrates. Comparing to the original carbon-containing substrates, the graphitization degree of the carbon-containing substrates modified by BMI2300 is decreased (IG/ID ratio is decreased from 2 to 1.78), which means BMI2300, indeed, forms chemical bonds with the surfaces of the carbon-containing substrates. As shown in FIG. 3B, MCMB is used as the carbon-containing substrate and BMI1100 forms chemical bonds with the surfaces of the carbon-containing substrates. FIG. 3B shows 623.8 nm-wavelength He—Ne laser (2 mW) Raman spectrum of the carbon-containing substrates modified by BMI1100 and 623.8 nm-wavelength He—Ne laser (2 mW) Raman spectrum of the original carbon-containing substrates. Comparing to the original carbon-containing substrates, the graphitization degree of the carbon-containing substrates modified by BMI1100 is decreased (IG/ID ratio is decreased from 3.34 to 2.17), which means BMI1100, indeed, forms chemical bonds with the surfaces of the carbon-containing substrates. As shown in FIG. 3C, MCMB is used as the carbon-containing substrate and MImPEO forms chemical bonds with the surface of the carbon-containing substrates. FIG. 3C shows 623.8 nm-wavelength He—Ne laser (2 mW) Raman spectrum of the carbon-containing substrates modified by MImPEO and 623.8 nm-wavelength He—Ne laser (2 mW) Raman spectrum of the original carbon-containing substrates. Comparing to the original carbon-containing substrates, the graphitization degree of the carbon-containing substrates modified by MImPEO is decreased (IG/ID ratio is decreased from 3.34 to 2.44), which means MImPEO, indeed, forms chemical bonds with the surfaces of the carbon-containing substrates. As shown in FIG. 3D, MPGA is used as the carbon-containing substrate and FAmPEO forms chemical bonds with the surfaces of the carbon-containing substrates. FIG. 3D shows 623.8 nm-wavelength He—Ne laser (2 mW) Raman spectrum of the carbon-containing substrates modified by FAmPEO and 623.8 nm-wavelength He—Ne laser (2 mW) Raman spectrum of the original carbon-containing substrates. Comparing to the original carbon-containing substrates, the graphitization degree of the carbon-containing substrates modified by FAmPEO is decreased (IG/ID ratio is decreased from 2 to 1.45), which means FAmPEO, indeed, forms chemical bonds with the surfaces of the carbon-containing substrates.
FIG. 4 is a plot diagram showing the thermal gravimetric analysis results of the surfaces of the carbon-containing substrates before and after the surface is modified by chemical bonding with the BMI2300 unsaturated compounds. As shown in FIG. 4, MPGA is used as the carbon-containing substrate and BMI2300 forms chemical bonds with the surfaces of the carbon-containing substrates to modify the surfaces of the carbon-containing substrates. The result of the thermal gravimetric analysis shows that, after the surfaces of the carbon-containing substrates is modified, the weight percentage of BMI2300 thereon to the carbon-containing substrates is about 1 wt %.

Several analysis exemplars are given in the followings to describe electrochemical property variations of the surfaces of the carbon-containing substrates before and after the surfaces of the carbon-containing substrates are modified by chemical bonding with the unsaturated compounds. FIGS. 7A through 7C are diagrams respectively showing the charge rate plot diagram and the electrochemical efficiency table of the carbon-containing substrates before and after the surfaces of the carbon-containing substrates are modified by chemically bonding with the unsaturated compounds having monofuran functional groups and by chemically bonding with the unsaturated compounds having bisfuran functional groups. As shown in FIGS. 7A through 7C, while MPGA is used as the carbon-containing substrate, the charge-discharge capacity (XC/0.2C) of the carbon-containing substrates after being modified by the unsaturated compounds is larger than 90%. Apparently, the solid-liquid interface can be improved by the unsaturated compounds modifying the surfaces of the carbon-containing substrates, and the wetness between the modified carbon-containing substrates and the electrolyte is enhanced so that it is beneficial to the capacitance.
FIG. 8 is a plot diagram obtained by applying the cyclic voltammetry onto the anode electrode plate and showing the current-voltage variations of the carbon-containing substrates before and after the surfaces of the carbon-containing substrates are modified by chemically bonding with the unsaturated compounds having maleimide functional groups and by being physical covered with the surface modifier. As shown in FIG. 8, while MCMB is used as carbon-containing substrate, the cyclic voltammery (CV) test shows that the reduction potential drops at 0.53 voltage. Further, on the anode electrode plate, the carbon-containing substrates modified by unsaturated compounds having maleimide functional groups and forming chemical bonds with the surfaces of the carbon-containing substrates effectively suppresses the high polar solvent (which is attracted by the lithium ions to occur solvation) inserting the interlayer structures of the carbon-containing substrates with the lithium ions.
The anode material obtained from the aforementioned embodiment is disposed on the current collector to form an anode electrode plate. The anode material, the conducting agent and the binder are mixed together according to a mixing ratio. For instance, the anode material of 90 wt. %, the conducting agent of 5 wt. % and the binder of 5 wt. % are mixed together and the mixture is disposed on the current collector. In one embodiment, an anode material having a diameter of about 1˜30 μm and a weight percentage of about 90 wt. % and fluorine resin with a weight percentage of about 3˜10 wt. % as a binder are dissolved in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone (NMP). After being mixed well, the solution is spread onto a copper foil roll with a length of about 300 m, a width of about 35 cm and a thickness of about 10 μm to form an anode roll. After being compressed, the compressed anode roll is dried in a vacuum of 110° C. for four hours to accomplish the manufacturing of the anode electrode plate.
Altogether, in the present application, addition reactions are performed between the functional groups of the unsaturated chemical compounds and the surfaces of the carbon-containing substrates to form chemical bonds such as covalent bonds and mechanism of the addition reaction is reversible. When a portion of the crosslinking structures of the polymer of the unsaturated compounds which form chemical bonds with the surfaces of the carbon-containing substrates is damaged by the external factors (such as heat or stress), the damaged crosslinking structures can recover from applying energy (such as heating) onto the polymer to perform the addition reactions again due to the reversibility of the addition reaction. Thus, on the surfaces of the carbon-containing substrates, the protective layers which are made of the unsaturated chemical compounds having chemical bonds with the surfaces of the carbon-containing substrates possess self-hilling ability. Moreover, the protective layers which are formed from the unsaturated chemical compounds on the carbon-containing substrates can effectively suppress the high polar solvent (which is attracted by the lithium ions to occur solvation) inserting the interlayer structures of the carbon-containing substrates with the lithium ions. Therefore, the structure stability of the anode material in the electrochemical reactions can be retained, the long term charge-discharge cycle time of the battery can be prolonged and the capacitance irreversibility due to structural damage can be decreased. Moreover, since the surface potential of the modified carbon-containing substrates is increased due to the bonding between the unsaturated compounds and the surfaces of the carbon-containing substrates, the anode electrode plate can be effectively soaked through in the high polar electrolyte. Hence, the resistance of the solid-liquid interface between the carbon-containing substrates and the electrolyte can be decreased. That is, the protective layers formed on the carbon-containing substrates can improve the electrochemical activity of the surfaces of the carbon-containing substrates so as to improve the compatibility between the surfaces of the carbon-containing substrates and the electrolyte and, meanwhile, to preserve the unity of the carbon-containing substrates.
It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made to the structure of the present application without departing from the scope or spirit of the application. In view of the foregoing descriptions, it is intended that the present application covers modifications and variations of this application if they fall within the scope of the following claims and their equivalents.
